I work in a small artisan workshop in southwest Portland where I fabricate my jewelry and story boxes from wire and flat sheets of silver, brass, bronze and reclaimed copper. I often embellish the pieces with carefully selected stones and semi-precious gems.

I draw my inspiration for the boxes from children’s books, poems and quotes. Using traditional metalsmithing techniques, the metal is hand-sawn, formed, filed, hammered, soldered and polished into a beautiful work of art which is truly one-of-a-kind.
